If you have ever asked yourself questions like these, Month-by-Month Gardening in Pennsylvania is for you. Gardening is a journey, not a destination. The day-by-day gardening experiences - planting a few onion sets in the first warm afternoon of spring… the surprises - a purple crocus before the snow has even gone … the satisfaction - fresh green beans on the dinner table, or tomatoes, bright and red, safely in quart jars … these are the things that keep the gardener coming back year after year.

Month-by-Month Gardening in Pennsylvania is packed with information that explains what needs to be done and when it needs to be done in the Pennsylvania garden. Topics include:

The most effective planting techniques.

How and when to prune.

The best season for fertilizing your lawn.

The differences between bare-root, container, and balled-and-burlapped plants.
